My customer just wants to do a flat 10% shipping fee for ALL checkouts. I'm having the darndest time trying to figure it out.

I'm sure it's super simple but maybe I just need someone to point me in the right direction.

Thanks for the help.

Look at the built in price table shipping module that comes with merchant. It will do percentage. If you need a module that lets you do a different percentage by country then you'll need a 3rd party module like

Thanks for the reply Bill.
I'm just not understanding this shipping method. Even after reading this: http://docs.mivamerchant.com/en-US/merchant/5/webhelp/price_table_based_shipping.htm it still doesn't make sense to me.
I'm not understanding why, once I add the Price table based shipping, I need to hit every one of my products and tell it to which one to use. There has to be an easier way to setup a flat 10% shipping across the board.

I don't think you have to hit every product. That would only be if you want to override the cost.

Ahhh, yes, I figured it out.
Here's how I set it up:
Handling = 0
Ceiling = +
Charge = 10%
and it works perfectly. Thanks for the help.
